“Let’s soak that in,” said Scottie Scheffler to the reporters earlier this week, verbalizing his exciting return this season. Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, two titans, are teeing off in style for their season debut at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. After taking a medical timeout since December, the OWGR rank 1 is back in the saddle, ready to roll despite a mishap that had him sidelined. While rolling dough with a wine glass, it cracked and left him with a cut, definitely not the kind of start he had in mind. 

Yet, true to form, he’s shaken it off and is back in action, not only for Pebble Beach but also confirmed for the high-energy WM Phoenix Open. Scheffler is a regular winner at the event, taking home the first spot in 2022, and 2023, and third in 2024. The golfer is set to light up the greens once again. So, what does he have in store for the upcoming games? This is WITB of Scottie Scheffler.

Scottie Scheffler’s drivers, fairways, and irons

At $499.99, the TaylorMade Qi10 Driver (8-degree loft) was cherished as the 2024 Golf Digest Hot List Gold Winner and is designed to be merciful and helps reduce spin. It is also a standard model, clearly not for everyone. His fairway wood, at $299.99 TaylorMade Qi10 in a 15-degree loft, is for hitting those long shots supported by its new Infinity Carbon Crown and design. Next up in the bag is a utility iron, Srixon Z U85, priced at $99.97, and attached to a UST Recoil 95 shaft. The light, cutting-edge, hollow body will grace Scheffler with higher shots effortlessly. Here’s a glance at his swing.

For irons, Scottie Scheffler has a premium version of the TaylorMade P-7MC. So what makes it so special? “When you look down at these irons, you are looking at the result of every range session, event, victory, and major championship from my 22+ years of professional golf,” said Tiger Woods about designing the upgrade.

Wedges, putter, and more help Scheffler’s return

Scottie Scheffler’s wedge shots usually land at the center of the face enough to avoid full-swing dispersion problems. This time it’s going to be Titleist Vokey SM8 and Titleist Vokey Design SM8 Wedge with the latter at $199.99. Next, his putter includes the $349.99 TaylorMade Spider Tour X L-Neck Putter. From using Spider Tour X SS Proto for the 2023 FedExCup Playoffs, he upgraded to the present preference last year at the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational.  This one offers extra stability with a thin wall undercut design. 

His bold, very premium kit also holds the Titleist Pro V1 Golf Ball. At $49.99, it is packed with features like a soft cast urethane Elastomer™ Cover for those buttery greenside spins, long distance, sleek flight, and more. He must’ve really had the time to make crucial choices. Scottie Scheffler’s trusted tools and understanding are ready to turn his injury hiatus into a 2024 thing.
